Chapter 588 Gossip
Susan Shelby, who had predicted the answer in advance, could not refrain from scoffing. 'Then, you agreed."
Julian Shaw’s expression was slightly dejected. "Susie, I didn't have any other choice. I wanted you to live."
"She later asked for a child and you agreed to that too?" Susan had a spurious smile on her face. "Soon, she wanted you to transfer all the assets to her child and you agreed to that as well?"
Julian tensed up at once. "That's not the truth, Susie. The child in Willa’s belly is not mine. I plotted against her and got her pregnant with a gangster's child. I did it because I wanted to use the child to lower her guard and then deceive her into handing over a complete wonder drug to me. I've already succeeded. The medication I gave you earlier is the complete wonder drug. You will only need to continue to consume it for one week and then you will recover fully."
Susan looked at the bottle of medication.
Julius Jenner leaned against the cave wall and tossed the medication bottle up and down with a malicious smile on his face." Tsk tsk tsk. That's a really touching story. You're gonna make me cry."
Julian ignored Julius' strange tone and looked at Susan nervously. "Susie, I really am not lying to you. That child is definitely not related to me."
Susan looked at Julian with a faint smile on her lips. "You’ve deceived me so many times and for such a long period. Do you think that you are still worthy of my trust?" While Julian was telling her the story, she had already believed him deep inside.
She believed that Julian was really not lying this time.
However, there was ineffable anger surging and raging in her heart.
Julian had deceived her on many occasions, yet he made it sound like he had done it all for her.
So, was she not supposed to be angry about it?
Was she supposed to forgive this man joyously?
She had been the concerned party in all these events, yet she had not even had the right to know anything right from the start. She had not had the right to choose either!
This made Susan feel like she was a fool and a puppet.
Just because Julian felt that he was doing this for her, she should just compromise unconditionally?
"Susie...” Susan's voice sounded calm, yet Julian could hear her rising anger for some reason. He could not help saying
cautiously, "Everything that I said is the truth. You are the only one I consider my wife. How could I get another person pregnant with my child?"
"Heh heh." Susan sneered once and helped Julian stand up expressionlessly.
Julian had no idea what Susan was trying to do, so he could only follow suit with caution.
Susan set him down on the leaf pile and then said coldly, "You should lie down to nurse your broken bones." NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Julian nodded with an anxious expression.
Whatever he needed to say, he had already told her.
Now, there were no secrets between him and Susan anymore.
However, Julian was truly incapable of figuring out if Susie would forgive him.
Susan placed Julian on the leaf pile and then ignored him while she returned to the corner. There was no telling what was on her mind.
Julian's mouth widened and closed in an attempt to say something to Susan, yet he did not say anything in the end.
Julius watched the interaction between these two with interest. After a while, he walked over to Susan and asked, "Hey, are you going to forgive him or not?”
Susan took a glance at him. "How does that concern you?”
Julius was infuriated at once. "Don't forget that your life is still in my hands."
"Kill me then!” Susan sneered.
Julius was left speechless.
After a while, he approached her again. " Since we have some free time, let's talk about it.”
Susan paid no attention to him, but he continued to chat away endlessly.
Susan shot him a glance, as she was growing impatient.
Julius' originally ice-cold eyes were actually filled with a gossipy glint.
Was anyone aware that the legendary Divine Lord was actually a gossip?
In order to express his sincerity, Julius tossed the medication bottle to Susan." We’re going to stay in this cave for the night. Let’s talk about it."
Susan put away the medication resolutely yet answered coldly, "No comment.”
Upon saying that, she curled and leaned against the corner of a wall before shutting her eyes.
Julius was speechless.
He was rarely interested in gossip. Did she have to dampen his enthusiasm like this?
Julius narrowed his eyes and pretended to be just fine before he inched close to Julian once again.
"Do you think that she is going to forgive you?"
Julian reacted by rolling his eyes.
Julius was so infuriated that he almost pulled out the gun again. However, he suddenly realized that these two people were obviously aware that he would not kill them so they did not fear him.
Julius discovered that there was nothing he could do to these people upon careful consideration.
He let out a cold grunt and acted as if he couldn't care less as he lay on his leaf pile right away.
"Susie, it's too cold over there. Come and sleep here.” Julian propped himself up with great effort in an attempt to sit.
Susan was not planning to pay attention to him originally, yet upon seeing him moving with great difficulty, she made her way over to him and pinned down Julian with a long look. "Don't move."
Julian seized this opportunity to pull Susan over to the leaf pile instantly.
Before Susan could react to the situation, she was already enveloped by Julian's arms.
"What are you doing?” said Susan in surprise and anger.
She was about to struggle free when Julian let out a muffled grunt in pain.
Susan stopped moving immediately.
"Susie, let me be your heater," said Julian pitifully.
"No need for that." Susan's voice sounded ice-cold, yet Julian's body temperature soothed her until she relaxed unconsciously.
"Be my heater then," Julian said. "I’m a wounded patient.” "I don't care if you die." Susan scolded him but did not budge.
Julian was elated in his heart. He removed his coat and draped it over their bodies. Then, he hugged Susan tightly and refused to let go.
“Do you know that you have broken some bones? Are you doing this to prevent them from healing?" Susan could not refrain from glaring at him. "Remove your arms '
"I broke the bones in my back, not my arms." Julian looked at Susan pitifully. " Susie, it’s been a long time since I last held you."
"Heh heh... You asked for it,” said Susan expressionlessly.
“Right, right, right. I did ask for it. I am aware of my mistake and I'm going to make it up to you for the rest of my life." Julian acknowledged his mistake without the slightest hesitation.
"I don't want the rest of your life. You can spend it with Willa," said Susan.
"Susie, are you jealous?" Julian was surprised.
Susan was silent for a moment before she said in an unpleasant tone, "No."
Julian was even more surprised and elated. He hugged Susan and refused to loosen his grip.
Susan did not attempt to break free from his hug, but her mind drifted far, far away.
She had already learned the truth.
She knew that everything that Julian had done had been for her sake and she knew that Julian still loved her deeply.
So, was she supposed to forgive this man?
But what should she do about the wounds inflicted by him over the years that still existed in her heart?
How could she act as if all this did not exist?
'Julian, you're always hiding everything. Are you trying to prove that you've regarded me as an overly fragile person right from the start? Who do you think you are to judge that I'm incapable of withstanding the stress caused by the Errol Virus, and who do you think you are to decide that I'd rather let you make this decision on my behalf?’
Susan's emotions were surging. She felt like biting Julian to death 100 times, yet her heart softened as soon as she thought about the way he had risked his life and fallen down the cliff with her in his arms.
